Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Ok, if the prolactin is high, the tumor is still active. If it produced problems before, and isn't fixed, that would be a reason for continuing problems. Foods will not treat a tumor. BUT there are also medications that can inhibit the tumor. Generally surgery is preferred for treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
